Thank you Maddie

If correct they have Arthur born 10yrs later 1849 and not 1839 as it should be

Rootgathere's 1881 shows an Arthur of the right age b Godley, Cheshire (1871 says Hyde)

Stockport RD covered Godley and Bredbury and according to wikipedia Godley is a suburb in Hyde Gtr Manchester these days so close enough to hopefully be the same Arthur
